Prism Glasses
Our Prism Glasses are designed to enable a person lying on their back to see downward (towards their feet). MRI patients undergoing a Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan can often become claustrophobic, due to the constraints of the size of the magnet opening. Our prism glasses help the patients to look out of the magnet as they lay flat on their back, making it feel as though they are less confined, and thus helps overcome a claustrophobic feeling. Many Patients have purchased a pair of prism glasses before undergoing their MRI exam. Most MRI Centers should have a pair of Prism Glasses on hand, just for those patients who exhibit claustrophobic tendancies.
Patients can wear the prism glasses inside all the various MRI system coils, including the head coil. These prism glasses are also very useful for people who have physical limitations and can not bend their neck to see downward. They are also helpful for those who are confined to bed and while lying on their back can watch a television at the foot of their bed.
Prism Glasses help Reduce Claustrophobia. Our Prism Glasses are similar to a regular pair of glasses in terms of their overall quality, but mounted in place of the lenses are prisms that allow the person to view at an angle towards the direction of their feet. At $73.00 each, these are economical enough that many patients purchase the Prism Glasses before they are about to undergo an MRI Scan, just to help ease the potential for claustrophobia. Anyone buying them for personal use will find that after taking them home, they can also use them to watch television while lying flat on their back, or easily read a book on an airplane by placing the book flat on their tray-table as they look forward towards the seat in front of them.
For the overall quality, these glasses are a steal at only $73.00 each, considering that many companies sold the same glasses to MRI centers for close to $1,000 each. For anyone who is claustrophobic, these Prism Glasses will really help overcome that Claustrophobia. The prism glasses enable the patient to see outside of the magnet as they are lying on their back. Typically, those individuals that can not tolerate being in tight spaces or confined spaces know they are clostrophobic, and are likely to take medication before the scan. Many people just don't realize beforehand that the confined space of the magnet, and lack of air flow will caus them to become claustrophobic. The idea behind the prism glasses is to help those borderline claustrophobic patients through the exam, salvaging the time slot that would otherwise result in dead time, when the scanner is available, but not being used.
How Do the Prism Glasses Work? The patient looks up into the Prism Glasses, and the Prisms project the light towards the person's feet, helping to prevent Claustrophobia as they do not experience that closed in feeling. Essentially, the Prism Glasses provide a visual effect of being in an open area. Quite frequently, the Prism Glasses are purchased by patients to take to their MRI exam.
Should I Buy the Prism Glasses to Take With Me When I Go For My Scan? After the MRI scan, the MRI glasses can be used as bed specs to watch television while lying in bed, and staring straight upwards. The ability to watch TV from bed is very helpful to those who are confined to bed for medical reasons. These Prism Glasses are not just a pair of MRI Glasses. The Prisms are a high quality optical glass. The glasses in prism form make it possible to see outside the M.R.I. magnet, reducing the MRI claustrophobia. The eye glasses prism reduces claustrophobia effect and they are totally non-ferrous, so that the glasses prism and frame will not be seen in the MRI images. The prism is fixed in a single position. The object of the prism glasses is to reduce claustrophobia and accomplishes this by enabling the patient to see towards their feet while lying down.
All Plastic Headphones for MRI Scanners
We carry two different styles of plastic headphones, also known as pneumatic headphones, making it possible for audio to reach the patient's ears while they are inside of an MRI Scanner. Audio driven through vinyl tubing travels up to these headphones, and due to their all plastic design, no artifacts will appear in the MRI scan.
Most MRI Systems produce substantial noise during the gradient coil pulsations, required for producing the image slices that are essential for patient imaging. In order to reduce the scanner noise and direct the audio into the patient ears, we developed a headphone that cups the ear and directs the audio into the ear canal via disposable eartips. Foam inside the headphone combined with the inner eartips reduce the noise levels substantially, enabling patients to clearly hear the MRI stereo sound and technologist's voice during the scanning sequences.
Our standard headphones are an economical "stethoscope-style" plastic headphone. This headphone will fit inside all MRI System coils. The eartips can be replaced between patients, providing a sanitary method of sharing the headphone with multiple users.
